$100 Red Seal - New Gem for Your Collection
By Chuck O'Donnell
Count your blessings — if you are one of the very lucky
owners of one of the new $10() Le^al Tender (red seal)
notes — and double the count if you are so fortunate as
to own one of the very, very few Star Notes!
Toward the end of November. 1968. the first of the
new Series 1966 $100 I^gal Tender notes with the new
Treasury seal design and carrying the signatures of
Cranahan and Fowler appeared at the Treasury Depart-
ment windows in Wa.shinglon. 1). C. About a week later,
in early December, the new notes showed up at the banks
in New York. Feverish intrigue, long distance calls,
■‘contacts.” pressures — all the gimmicks of the business
went to work trying to corral the fancy numbers and
star notes. Some success was achieved: the first “brick”
(4,000 notes) was located in Puerto Rico and the first
pack — aerial numbers 1 to 100 — was purchased and of-
fered for sale by a Washington dealer. The second
and third bricks were Iwated in New York: several packs
had been paid out “over the counter.” hut a search of
the remaining note.s turned up less than twenty-five star
notes. Brick No. 4 (Serial 12.001-16.000) produced less
than fifty stars, .and all the other efforts combined have
so far produced less than one hundred of these treasures!
But you say. “The Bureau printed .S2.000 .stars and
.S.450.{X)0 of the regular notes: how can they he scarce?”
Well. I can only suggest that any printing of .32,000
anything in the way of paper money makes a built-in
rarity. But even more important, there is every reason
to believe that a very limited number of the reported
.32.000 printed will ever see the outside of the Treasury
coffers.
payrolls, to the “street” and end up circulated, far less
desirable to the collector than the crisp gems! We base
our estimate on a probable 15 “bricks” — 20 at the most —
ever being released.
Since stars appear to be running considerably less than
one per cenL there is a good chance that the issue will
end with a total of less than a thousand stars available
to collectors. The figure could be much leas! With
about twenty thousand notes searched so far. less than
one hundred stars have come to light! We base our
guess on the knowledge that the new SlOO notes cannot
be released until a suflicienl retirement of the twos and
fives in circulation has been accomplished and on the
almost certain action in the next Congress. Couple the
probable short supply of this note with the almost un-
precedented demand and you won't need a crystal ball
to see what will happen.
“Demand?” you ask. “’What demand? Who collects
8100 notes?”
For the ordinary SlOO note. I’d be tempted to answer
not many, perhaps fewer than a dozen collectors. But
for this note? WOWIE! It will be the only note Series
1966. It will be the only SlOO red seal. It will be the
only Fowler signature with the new Treasury seal. It
has so many only's that it's practically a unique item,
and it will certainly be the Istar) attraction, the center-
piece of almost every collection. Personally I don’t col-
lect anything above the $10 (Hawaii excepted), yet you
can be .sure I’ll he proudly displaying my new regular
and star “C” note for a long time to come!
Why Legal Tender?
Let us review for a moment the “why” of legal tender.
As most of you know, the original Act of Congress in
1861 authorized the legal lender issue as an interest-free
way of financing the War Between the States. An Act
of Congress in 1878 directed that $346,681,016 be main-
tained in circulation. And now. more than a hundred
years later, this legislation is still on the books! Ac-
cording to the Bureau of Engraving and Printing officials,
the production problems of manufacturing and printing
red ink for this one series is a big headache. They have
long advocated repeal of these Acts of Congress, and
now with the new Congress in plain view, we understand
that the Bureau is reasonably certain that at long last
the Legal Tender Act will be repealed.
As you recall, the first step was to discontinue the
deuces. Then in 1968 came the announcement there
would be no more red seal fives. The purpose of all of
this was to clear the way for issuance of the hundreds.
which could more easily be controlled and recalled (or
retired) in event the repeal of the Legal Tender Act
became a reality. And herein lies the basis of our pre-
diction that despite the printing of 345.(XK).000 pieces,
there will probably be less than a hundred thousand that
ever are released, and judging from the meager statistics
already available, probably half that number will go into

Running Antelope — Misnamed Onepapa
By Forrest W. Daniel
Oipyright F-orrest W. Daniel, I9(i9
PART I— THE PORTRAIT
If ever there was an Indian named Onepapa (o-NEE-
pa-pah), he was never pictured on United States cur-
rency. The portrait on the S5.00 Silver Certificate
Series 1899 is without question Ta-lo’-ka-in’*yanka, or
Running Antelope, a chief of the Hunkpapa Dakota.
Running Antelope was bom in Dakota in 1821. was en-
rolled in 1868 at Grand River Agency, later part of
Standing Rock reservation in North and South Dakota,
and died there between June 30, 1896. and June 30. 1897.
He was well known during his lifetime and is well, but
obscurely, documented: but much of what has been
written about him in numismatic publications must be
discounted.
The name Onepapa is not a personal name but a mis-
spelling of Onepapa (put a crossbar in the c — it becomes
an e), one of nearly thirty spellings of the name of
Running Antelope’s band of Sioux used in the past

century. The accepted spelling now U Hunkpapa. En-
graver George Frederick Gumming Sroillie engraved the
name Onepapa below the portrait vignette on the die:
he found identification lettering “Onepapa 2” on the
photograph (Figure 1) which was used as the model for
the portrait and made the error on the die, as shown
on the die proof. (Figure 2)
The photograph used was taken by Alexander Gardner
in Washington. D. C.. in September. 1872. when Running
Antelope was there at the invitation of the President.
Two photographs were taken, full face and profile, show-
ing him wearing three feathers in his hair, fur braid
wraps, and dentalium earrings, and holding an eagle
wing fan and a peace pipe. The pictures were intended
for the permanent record of the Bureau of Ethnology to
show the physical characteristics and accouterments of
the various Indian tribes.
When the photograph was chosen as the model for the
central vignette of the note, it was decided the feathers
were too tall to make a symmetrical portrait, so a war
bonnet was borrowed from the National Museum, posed
on an employee of the Bureau of Engraving and Print-
ing. and superimposed upon the portrait of Running
Antelope. The story that he refused to pose in the bonnet
cited in United States Paper Currency, Old Scries by
Frank A. Limpert cannot be credited. The photograph
was made for the ethnological records of the aboriginal
people of America in 1872, the subject died in 1896 or
1897. and the portrait was neither chosen for the note
nor the headdress added until 1899.
Smillie began work on the portrait on November 28.
1899. and the die. No. 5102, was completed on January
7. 1900. The portrait was combined with other engrav-
ings to complete the design, and the new bills were de-

Supply Company, Oklahoma City, for the reopening of

“bogus blanks,” as they were called by Joe Miller, so
closely re.sembled actual money, a ruling was requested
on their legality. The Department of Justice required
that the words “NO CASH VALUE” appear on the
lithographed bills; there was no further objection when
that wording was printed in retl. Some of the 5 BUCKS
bills were later overprinted with a large red “20” creat-
ing another variety.
PART 11— BIOGRAPHY
When Running Antelope was born near the Grand
River, presently South Dakota, in 1821, few white men
were in the area. Consequently he grew up in the old
traditions of his people, the Teton or western Sioux. He
learned to ride and hunt, and later went on horse-stealing
expeditions and war parties and joined the secret socie-
ties. By the time he reached manhood things had
changed, the whites were more numerous, and the Indians
were forced to adapt to the new conditions. Many Sioux
look up arms and became strong in warfare: the Hunk-
papas. one of the smaller bands of the Tetons, became
one of the strongest. Running Antelope, however, was
one of the first Hunkpapas to reject the warpath and
become a friend of the whites.
Factual material begins on October 16, 1867, when
he met Colonel Philippe Regis de Trohriand at Fort
Stevenson, Dakota Territory. Quoted in de Trobriand’s
journal [Military Life in Dakota, translated by Lucile
M. Kane) Running Antelope said, in part: “. . . Since
the days when we first allied ourselves with the whites
1 have been faithful to them at all times and all places.
The skin of my body is red but my flesh is white, since
for many years I have eaten the bread of the whiles. I
have received my food from them and 1 have accustomed
myself to live as they do. . . . Since the day when White
Beard (General Harney), after having taken me with
him high and low through the country, said to me, ‘Go
among the redskins, and carry to them my words or go
among the soldiers and carry to them my writings.’ To
the bluecoats I have faithfully carried lire writings. To
the redskins I have spoken as my fatlier ordered. . . .”
De Trohriand then adds the misinformation, quoted
by Limpert. that in his earlier days Running Antelope
had been a parly to a stage coach robbery, pursued by
the army, sentenced to death (or murder, and had re-
ceived a presidential pardon to return to his people.
It's a neat story but not provable. It was Spotted Tail,
a Brule Sioux, not Running Antelope, who was pursued
and captured by Harney and later pardoned. Running
Antelope told de Trohriand that he had been a messenger
for Harney, and confirmation is found in “Ninety-Six
Years Among the Indians of the Northwest” by Philip
E. Wells (AortA Dakota History, Vol. 15, 1948). Wells
says, “Between him (Running Antelope) and me was a
sworn friendship of many years' standing. It had grown
out of Running Antelope’s association with my brother
Alfred when the former was a scout and the latter an
interpreter for General W. S. Harney during the cam-
paign against Spotted Tail.”
A great council with the Sioux was called at Fort
Laramie and Fort Rice in 1868. and the government
wanted especially to invite Sitting Bull and his followers
to the council. It was an extremely dangerous assign-
ment. and the only white man deemed capable of sur-
viving a meeting with Sitting Bull was the aged mission-
ary priest. Father Pierre Jean DeSmeL His escort was
made up of 86 Sioux, including Running Antelope, with
Charles Galpiii as interpreter. The day-long council be-
tween DeSmel and the hostile chiefs closed with a speech
by Running Antelope, who addressed his fellow Hunk-
papas with assurances that the white men appreciated
their courtesy to Father DeSmet and for listening to his
words and that their own words would be carried faith-
fully to the whites.
Sitting Bull did not attend the council with the peace
commission but sent a representative. Running Antelope
signed the Treaty of 18(>8 at Fort Rice; the peace medal

he wears in his portrait was most likely received at that
time for it has the portrait of President Andrew Johnson.
Grand River Agency was formed following the treaty
and Running Antelope was enrolled immediately.
In August, 1872, he was called to Fort Peck for a
council with the Assistant Secretary of the Interior and
other chiefs of the Teton Sioux. Following that meet-
ing he was with the group which went to Washington,
D. C., to meet the President. Other cities visited were
St Louis, New York and Cincinnati. He was photo-
graphed by Alexander Gardner and received a certificate
of appointment as Head Chief of the Hunkpapa Band
of Sioux. Running Antelope's invitation to Washington
and tlie certificate of his appointment as head chief are
among his personal tetters and documents located and
examined.
Dr. W. J. Hoffman, an army surgeon gathering in-
formation for the Smithsonian Institution, visited Grand
River in 1873; and for him Running Antelope painted
an autobiography in eleven pictographs. The drawings
depict his battles with the Ankara between 1853 and
1865. (Figure 5)
The Treaty of 1868 provided reservations for the Sioux
but enrollment was not mandatory and many chose to
remain away from them. When gold was discovered
on Indian land in the Black Hills, the whites invaded the
reservation and all the Sioux were required to establish
permanent residence and cede the Black Hills. Running
Antelope protested tlie action but signed the treaty ceding
the Black Hills. After Custer’s force was wiped out at
the Little Big Horn, the policy of the government toward
the Sioux became more rigid. The Indians, both peace-
ful and otherwise, were disarmed and dismounted: with-
out guns and horses they were unable to supplement their
food supply with small game as they had before. Dis-
content with the Indian agent became more open; Run-
ning Antelope protested by letter to the government:
his letters were dictated to Colonel Wm. P. Carlin, com-
mander of Fort Yates, which adjoined Standing Rock
Agency headquarters.
Opposition to Indian Agent, W. T. Hughes, became so
great that on July 14s 1878, a group of Indians invaded
the agency, grappled with Hughes and proposed to throw
him off the reservation. Col. Carlin heard the commotion
and rushed to see what had happened; he was able to
stop the mob before Hughes was thrown into the river.
Ringleader of the group was Goose, an army scout and
friend of Running Antelope, but Antelope was the spokes-
man. He said that when he was in Washington the
Great Father had told him that if the agents were bad
they would be replaced, and if they weren’t this was the
course to be pursued with bad agents. Agent Hughes
was replaced shortly.
Running Antelope’s animosity toward the agents was
part of the dissention between the army and the Office
of Indian Affairs over jurisdiction at Indian agencies.
He had served the army for many years and was highly
partisan. Whenever difficulty with an agent arose he
cited his trip to Washington and said the President him-
self had given him authority to act as he did. Though
deposed as chief by Hughes, and later by Agent Stephan.
he was always a power when the next big argument
came up.
The two-year tenure of Agent J. A. Stephan at Stand-
ing Rock was plagued with scandal, recrimination and
investigation. While attention was diverted from the
Indians, Goose and Running Antelope decided to hold
a sun dance and asked permission from Col. Carlin and
Agent Stephan. Both said no — but not absolutely — so
the dance began on June 29, 1880. The sun dance, which
in its higher degrees includes physical mutilation, lasted
six days with 24 men and five women taking part. The
cutting degree was not to be a part of the dance, so both
the array and the agent took no official notice of the
incident until Sunday, July 4. Some cutting began the
night before, and word came Sunday morning that a
holiday excursion boat from Bismarck was bringing the
curious to see the “barbarities.” Stephan called an
immediate halt to the dance and the Indians complied.
The day was not yet over before Carlin and Stephan
were writing letters, each accusing the other of instigat-
ing, encouraging and prolonging the dance. Both re-
ceived affidavits from witnesses; some witnesses gave
statements for both sides. Running Antelope said that
the Great Father disapproved the dance, so when the
agent asked them to stop they did as he asked without
any argument since they were all tired anyway.
Late in 1880, the followers of Sitting Bull began to
return from exile in Canada and in the spring of 1881,
Running Antelope was enlisted as a scout in the army
to go to Fort Buford to escort Gall and his foHocvers to
Standing Rock. He also met a representative of Sitting
Bull and asked him to relay the invitation to his chief.
Sitting Bull surrendered later; on his arrival at .Stand-
ing Rock the only Indian |>ermilted to speak to him was
Running Antelope.
Sitting Bull’s return to Standing Rock coincided with
the arrival of a new agent. Major James McLaughlin.
McLaughlin had a deep-seated hatred of Sitting Bull but
their confrontation was delayed by a two-year imprison-
ment of Sitting Bull at Fort Randall and his later tours
with Buffalo Bill Cody’s wild west show. When he was
finally settled at Standing Rock, his village was near the
Grand River, a few miles west of Running Antelope’s
village.
Running Antelope’s relations with McLaughlin are
obscure. Indians mentioned favorably by McLaughlin in
his book My Friend the Indian are the same who were
partisans of previous agents: he stoutly decries all who
were friendly to Sitting Bull. There most likely was little
to change Antelope’s attitude toward agents in general.
He was, however, chosen to lead the last great Sioux
buffalo hunt in June. 1882. A large herd was sighted
about a hundred miles west of Fort Yates, and a hunting
party of 2.000 men. women and children left the fort
on June 10. The party made camp near the herd, and
Running Antelope conducted the hunt ceremonial. The
Indians formed a crescent with Running Antelope at the
tip: a painted stone ten inches high served as an altar.
The eight young men of good moral character chosen
a.« scouts gathered before the altar and were told of the
importance of their mission and that the success of the

and write, but she stoutly refused their demands that
she permit her students to learn the traditions and dances
of the Sioux. Miss Collins associated Running Antelope
with reactionary forces tending to impede the progress
of the Indians: she arrived late and failed to recognize
the great influence he had wielded in helping the govern-
ment establish peace with the Sioux. He. in turn, was
growing old and with all the Indians on the reservation
his influence was not needed and his prestige fell.
A letter from Bishop Martin Marty of South Dakota
on July 6. 1892. says. “He is now old and feeble in mind
and body and merits kind treatment from all. that take
a kindly interest in our aborigines, that he may close
his days in peace.” Running Antelope is last mentioned
in the annual census of June 80. 18%. He is not men-
tioned in the census the following year so it is as.sumed
he died during that year.
Running Antelope was the greatest Sioux orator in
addition to being a skilled negotiator and diplomat. True,
he brought the Indians to council as a government agent,
hut he and the hostile chiefs made the treaty provisions
so costly the government could not live up to the terras.
Agent Stephan called him a “politician Indian” and at
the Dawes Senate Committee Investigation in 1882 he
was said to be “all soft soap and smoothne.ss.”
A federal commission went to Standing Rock in 1888
to sign a treaty opening certain Sioux lands to settle-
ment. Doane Robinson in “Tales of the Dakota” {South
Dakota fii.itoriral Collettionx. l'>28t states that after
hearing the terms Running Antelope replied, in effect.
"Many years ago the great father wanted a piece of our
land and he called his children to the Minnesota river:
he had there a very pretty calf which he proposed to
exc hange for the Indian lands. We loved the calf very
much and we gave up our lands but we did not get the
calf. When the great father wanted more of our land
he called us down to Yankton. The calf had grown up
to be a very fine heifer and he offered to exchange the
heifer for the lands he wanted: we agreed and the great
father got the land, but we did not get the heifer. Then
came a time when he wanted more of our land and he
called us to Laramie: the heifer was now a splendid
row: she had fine horns, and soft eyes: her sides were
round and fat and she gave much milk. We loved her
very much and when the great father offered the great
cow for our land we again agreed, but the great father
got the land, and we did not get the cow. Now you have
driven the old critter over here, and her tail is frozen
off. her horns are broken and she is dried up and gives
no milk and we think we do not care to trade.” The
Indians were adamant and after 82 days the council
broke up. a total failure.
NOTE: Relevant material was found in more than
sixty books and articles and microfilm of official corre-
spondence. Six photographic portraits have been found
in addition to photographs of his original autobiography
and a redrawn version published in 1883. Running
.Antelope's personal papers are in historical society manu-
script collections and a small community museum. So
much interest has developed in Running Antelope in the
past year that this brief summary of the material on
his real life seems called for in spite of being unfinished.
Looking at Literature
George Smith's Money, by Alice E. Smith. The State
Historical Society of Wisconsin, 816 State Street, Madi-
son, Wis., 1%6. Board covers, 208 pages plus 8 plates.
$4.50.
This is a book which needed to be written, which
should have been written half a century sooner, and
which should bring the author far more commendation
than she’ll be apt to get. There are many, many who
would enjoy and benefit from reading it but, like a
diamond in a dune, who’s to know of its presence?
Alice Smith has two things in common with the subject
of her extensive research : the same surname, which does
not indicate any relationship, and her ancestors, who
were of his native Aberdonian Highlands of Scotland.
And both spent at least part of their days in the general
area of southwestern I.ake Michigan. But the canny
Scot ventured to that area when there were merely
frontier settlements between the waters of the Lake and
the prairies of the Midwest: Chicago was just a boom
town when George Smith arrived in 1884.
He came for one purpose only: to make money for
himself and for his neighbors who had entrusted him
with modest sums of money. He invested, cautiously,
in real estate and made money. But he soon became
convinced that, to make the kind of money he had in
mind, more capital was necessary. So. in mid-18.86.
he returned to Aberdeenshire where he formed “The
Illinois Investment Company" and, less than a year after
his arrival, returned to Chicago.
Times were not good and the path was not smooth
but George Smith made money and expanded his enter-
prises. slowly at first. One thing was lacking: there were
no banks in the area simply Itecause the legislatures of
Illinois and Wisconsin were barred by law from grant-
ing any bank charters. But George Smith saw the need
and found a way. He secured a charter for the Wiscon-
sin Marine and Fire Insurance Company with its office
in Milwaukee and promptly started issuing “certificates
of deposit” in $1. $2 and S3 amounts, payable to the
bearer on demand in Milwaukee or by George Smith and
Company at its Chicago office. Illegal? No. Quasi-
legal? Yes. But mast important. George Smith had
hard money with which to redeem every “certificate” that
was ever presented.
Exact statistics are lacking, as is most exact informa-
tion about most of George Smith’s activities. But the
popularity and growth in circulation of “George Smith’s
money,” in approximate amounts as follows, is a good
indicator of his success as a banker and business man:
1841. $.80,000: 184,8. 8100.000: 1845. $250,000; 1849,
$1,000,000: and. at about the peak at the end of 1851.
SI. 470.000.
The enactment of “free” banking acts in Illinois (late
1851) and Wisconsin (1852) made changes necessary-
in George Smith’s widespread operations but did not
make them materially less lucrative. Not yet 50 years
of age. “Chicago Smith” was a multimillionaire (no one

New Information on Seldom Seen Notes
By Louis Van Belkum
In Friedberg’s Paper Money of the United States and
in Donlon’s United States Large Size Paper Money, 1861
to 1923, there are listed certain issues of notes about
which little factual information is known. 1 have at-
tempted to compile some of the information that is avail-
able on these issues. As one will notice when reading
through the data, there are some new types of notes
revealed and some that .seem to be left out. I would
like to stress the fact that no denominations were left
out. In the reference books mentioned above, these
notes are listed as unknown. These notes were authorized
and in some cases even printed, but they were never
issued. Thus, collectors should revise the listings of these
notes in their books by adding the new notes and deleting
those that were never issued. Also in examining the
data, one will notice the number of notes outstanding in
fiscal 1895 and from this examination see why many of
these notes are so rare or unknown today.

Luxemburg and Its World War I Issues
By M. Robert Talisman, M.D.
Very close examination of a map of Europe, with
concentration upon the land bordering the junctions of
Belgium. France and the German Empire, will reveal
a liny blob of color that the map-maker has had diffi-
culty labelling. Rarely will it be fully identified; usually
it will bear the cryptic “Lux.” The space allocated is far
loo small to allow its full name to be entered — “Etat du
Grand-Duche de Luxembourg.” And even longer was
the full name of the ruler of this sovereign slate during
the fateful years of the Great War — Marie-Adelaide.
Grand Duchess of Luxemburg, Duchess of Nassau.
Countess Palatine of the Rhine. Countess of Sayn, Kbnig-
stein, Katzelenbogen and Dietz, Margravine of Ham-
merstein. Lady of Mahlberg. Wiesbaden, Idstein. Meren-
berg. Limburg and Epstein.
Other than these two top-heavy facets. Luxemburg
mu.st be viewed as minuscule. Three aspects must be
realized when we consider the status of the country dur-
ing the years of 1914 to 1918. First, the land involved
was about LUtK) square miles — smaller than the State
of Rhode Island — lying between the borders of the even-
tual belligerent nations. Second, its armed forces num-
bere<i between 250 and .5(M). most of whom were at-
tached to the postal service, the railways and the farms.
The third shortage has been the attention paid to Lux-
emburg by the subsequent historians; their comment is
usually limited to the fact that the country was overrun
by the German troops as they invaded Belgium. It is
difficult to ferret out what actually happeneti to Lux-
emburg in the years under study.
Marie-Adelaide assumed the crown in June of 1912,
four days after she reached her 18th birthday. She
inherited from her father and his predecessors the vener-
able Paul K'’schen. Minister of Slate, and President of
the Government, a man who had for many years held
the actual reins of both internal and external affairs of
the Duchy.
Suspecting that some military move was soon to occur,
Eyschen returned to the capital city in the last days of
July. 1914. On July 31. news reached the authorities
that the Germans had blockaded the bridges leading to
the east, bridges over the Moselle and Sure Rivers;
Eyschen questioned both the German and French govern-
ments as to the meaning of this action. No immediate
replies were elicited from either nation, although France
did finally state that she would not infringe upon the
neutrality of Luxemburg unless Germany did so first.
Although no statement was issued at this lime by the
German authorities, it was later determined that General
Miiltke had insisted on seizing the railway system as a
rapid means of mobilization before attacking Belgium.
For several hours the Kaiser’s permission had been with-
held. but Moltke finally convinced him of its importance
and the active step was made.
On August 1. German troops entered Trois Vierges in
Luxemburg, took control of the telegraph lines and tore
up the railway lines for about 150 meters. Eyschen re-
peated his telegrams to the German government, de-
manding an apology and assurance of his country’s
neutrality: no answer was obtained.
By the next day German troops reached Luxemburg
City; they insisted that these movements were not those
of invasion hut were merely protection to the Luxem-
burgers against the aggressive actions of the French
troops that had already invaded their country. The
German authorities assured the Luxemburg government
that ail damage would he compensated for. The fact
that no French troops had invaded the country obviously
made no difference to the invaders; France had actually
torn up the railway lines within her own territory at
Mont-St.-Martin-Longwy to prevent any advance along
this route by the Germans. To assure the population of
the invaded country, copies of a proclamation already
printed in Coblenz were distributed stating. “Since
France, disregarding Luxemburg’s neutrality, has opened
hostilities from the Luxemburg side against German
troops. His Majesty, under the hitler force of necessity,
has commanded that German troops in the first line of
the 8th Army Corps should enter Luxemburg.”
The male population of Luxemburg had been exempt
from military service for many years; few now entered
the ranks of the German forces hut about 2.(K)0 {or
ten percent of the men of military age I volunteered for
service in the French army. Allhough Luxemburg main-
tained its neutrality throughout the war and was not
the site of any actual land encounters, the economy of
the nation was strangled by German control and German-
based industries were bombed by the French air force.
By Deceml)er 11, 1914, currency was issued by tlte
German occupants for the country as a whole, bearing
the date of November 28. 1914 as Uie authorized date of
issue. Bilingual, only the 1 franc note (worth 80 pfen-
nigs in German currency J was issued, although 50
centimes and 2 franc notes were authorized.
During the war years, the Luxemburg people be-
lieved that Marie-Adelaide made many conciliatory
moves toward the German invaders, and they became
disillusioned with their Duchess. Whether or not she
was actually pro-German or merely forced by pressure to
make her peace at times with the invaders is a question
still debated by her biographers. Regardless of the
answer, however, after the November 1918 armistice, the
withdrawal of the German troops, and the arrival of
American soldiers accompanied by General Pershing and,
soon after. French forces. Marie-Adelaide was made to
realize that her position was insecure. On January 9,
1919. she abdicated in favor of her younger sister,
Charlotte.
Marie-Adelaide’s later life was spent in exile. Poverty
stricken, she spent years in Switzerland. Italy (including
a period in a convent at Modena), and Germany (for a
short time, as a medical student). Not yet 30 years old,
she died on January 24, 1924.

Charlotte was overwhelmingly accepted by the Lux-
emburgers and, on a plebiscite of September 28, 1919,
was accepted by 67,000 of 91.000 voters.
Economic factors being as they were during the war
years and its aftermath, we find local issues of cur-
rency for two of the many communities of the country.
No others have been reported, although it is still uncer-
tain whether any others were produced or whether Ger-
man notes were universally accepted by the local mer-
chants during the involved period.

Red Sticks
By Harry C. Wigington
I The Oeek Indian.s settled and prospered in the area
of Georgia and Alabama and had a population of about
' 3U,()00 by the late Idth century. They were tall, usually
, several inches over European men. The women were
usually beautiful, having sharp and defined features:
this beauty caused many of the white settlers to marry
Creek women. While France still held Louisiana, a
Captain Marqnard. commanding Ft. Toulouse (near
present Montgomery. Alai)amai married, under Indian
custom, a Creek girl of the Wind Clan. A daughter,
named Sehoy. was born to this couple. When Sehoy
was still a child. Maniuard was killed in a mutiny. She
was raised by her mother, and her beauty as a woman
became well known.
daughter, who later married a Charles Weatherford,
another Scotsman. Of their children. William Weather-
ford became known to whites as well as Indians. To
the Creeks he was railed Lamochattee. meaning Red
F^agle.
By his lineage, Weatherford was one-half Scottish, one-
quarter Fmglish. one-eighth French, and only one-eighth
Indian. Yet, he was a Creek of Creeks, a thorough
meml>er of the tribe, hating whites and taking his Indian
name. The Wind Clan supplied by the descent on the
female side chiefs to the Creek Tribes. Through his
mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, he was
entitled to the rank of a chief.
In succession she was consort to a minor chief, to a
Colonel Tail of the British Army, and finally to a Lachlan
McGillivray. a Scottish trader. By Tait she had a

a leading spirit in urging war against the white settlers.
The British were anxious to give aid to the Indians and
stir up unrest with the American settlers and normally
peaceful tribes.
But the Creeks were divided in half. One half of the
nation wanted peace; the other half wanted war. A
group of warring young Creeks murdered several settlers;
quickly a group of peaceful Creeks, led by a minor chief.
Big Warrior, hunted down and killed the guilty braves.
This widened tlie division in the various clans. The
Creek tribesmen who wanted war erected poles, painted
red, in their public squares, along the roads they
traveled, and in area where they lived. By so doing,
they became known as RED STICKS to distinguish them
from peaceful Creeks.
Red Eagle led the Red Sticks, and the first skirmish
was at Burnt Creek. The settlers lost the first battle,
the Creek War was begun, and was to last for two years
(1813-1814). Andrew Jackson finally defeated the Red
Sticks and ordered that Red Eagle be brought in chains.
Red Eagle, realizing his defeat, walked into Jackson's
camp and announced that he was Bill Weatherford.
Through Weatherford’s efforts, the tribes were gathered
and the Creeks returned to a peaceful life.
It is fitting that the City of Baton Rouge should use
the RED STICK vignette on a Sl.OU City Bond issue of
1866. The note pictured shows an example of this issue,
with the vignette of RED STICK. It is easy to under-
stand why the city fathers chose this vignette for this
issuance, since Baton Rouge is French for Red Stick.
The vignette, if seen in color, would show the stick
and feathers in red, with the rest of the engraving in
black. Also, this is a clear example of how our ancestors
of 102 years ago used scenes of historical and topical
meaning to depict on their currency.

knew how much he was worth, and he said only “1 have
too much money” ) growing weary of the complex game.
Sometime in 1856, so the story goes, he said abruptly to
the cashier of his Chicago Bank of America, “This mak-
ing of money grows tiresome. I shall quit.”
After consolidating, liquidating and contracting his
businesses, he “quit.” But to George Smith quitting
meant turning his affairs over to agents and trusted
associates; he could not stop making money, for that
was his whole life. He had no family, no social life and
few if any friends outside the business world. This was
the era of the railroad boom, and the shrewd Scot put
much of his capital in roads building westward from
the Chicago and Milwaukee areas. But his money did
the work: George Smith spent the remainder of hb 91-
year life at an exclusive club in London. In a day when
taxes were less conscriptive than now. his estate swelled
the exchequer of England by four million dollars and
that of New York State by about half that amount
Was “Chicago Smith” a greedy mercenary or a bene-
factor? He was both. He often drove a hard bargain,
yet he was honest and his word was as good as gold in
a time and place where gold was a scarce commodity.
A case in point was the reaper business of Cyrus H.
McCormick, which was moved to Chicago in 1847.
“George Smith’s money” figured signally in the develop-
ment of this enterprise which contributed so much to
the expansion of the Midwest Shortly after he left
Chicago a money panic struck, prompting a prominent
newspaper to editorialize; “Were he (George Smithi here
today, he could do more to restore confidence in the
community than any other man.”
The story of George Smith and hLs money, as related
by Alice E. Smith now. is involved but engaging. In
spite of exten.sive and exhaustive research, including a
trip to England and Scotland, there are gaps which can
be filled only by speculative reasoning, but the author
does not let her fancy or exuberance carry her away.
And seldom is a book found with so many reference
footnotes. This is far more than the story of an unusual
man and his profit-making pursuits in a relatively small
segment of the country; rather it is a vital chapter in the
development of a mighty nation through free enterprise.

The Obsolete Paper Money of Virginia, by Charles J.
Affleck.
Charlie .\flleck finally did it. For years we knew he
had been collecting data on Virginia notes and we looked
forward to seeing it in print. Now Volume 1, covering
Virginia Treasury Notes, County, City and Town emis-
sions and Private and Business Scrip has been published
by the Virginia Numismatic Association. Volume 2,
now being prepared, will encompass the Obsolete Bank
Notes of Virginia.
This book comprises 237 pages with almost 590 full-
size illustrations. Generally only one denomination of
each issue is shown, but in some instances there are
pictures of two or more denominations or even of the
same denomination in order to provide complete photo-
graphic coverage by types.
Because of the liberality of illustrations, Mr. Affleck
has eliminated the need for extensive descriptions. In
most instances he merely indicates “As illustrated” or
“similar to illustration’*, hut if there is a special paper
coloring or other feature, it is so described. Informa-
tion of a geographic, historical or human interest nature
is inserted in appropriate places. The business and
exact street location of some of the issuers of .scrip notes
are of added interest.
The book includes a rarity-price table and the rarity
of each note is indicated. This price-rarity information
and the lack of numbers are probably the only contro-
versial features of the book. For the sake of consistency
in the obsolete paper money field. Mr. Affleck has used
the table of rarities (1*7) developed by the Society of
Paper Money Collectors, but he has gone out on a limb
and indicated rarity 8 (uniquel for a few notes. All
of us realize the danger of such classification, but un-

Famous Americans on the One Dollar
Educational Note
By Howard W. Parshall
Thp $1 Silver Certificate. Series 18%. is one of the
three notes ($2 and $5) popularly known as the “Edu-
cational” series. The.sc notes are generally considered
to be our most beautiful paper money. Their design
and historical content place them in the same class with
commemorative coins and medallions.
The $1 note is the most historical of the three in the
sense that it deals with a broader scope of American
history. On the front of the note may be seen the city
of Washington. D. C.. a copy of the Preamble to the
Constitution, and the names of 28 early Americans in
wreaths around tlie borders. On the back of the note
are the portraits of George and Martha Washington.
The purpo.sc of this article is to better acquaint the
reader with the history of each American whose name
appears in one of the wreaths. The person's major
position, or contribution, is listed under his name. When
there have been several important areas of service of
somewhat equal rank, they were listed without any effort
to assign them degrees of importance. However, when
a name might have been placed under more than one
major classification, it was placed under the one of
highest rank. An example of this is Ulysses S. Grant,
who could properly be classified under “Presidents”
and “Military Men.”
The names are classified under five major headings:
(1) Presidents. (2) Statesmen, (3) Military Men. (4l
Inventors, and (51 Writers.

WRITERS

Ralph Waldo Emerson (e^sayist)
James Eenimore Cooper (novelist)

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (poet)
The order and grouping of the namee on the note ap-
pear to have been done after careful planning. For
instance, the three men listed top center (Washington,
Jefferson, and Franklin) attended the Constitutional Con-
vention in 1787. The five men listed top right (Hamil-
ton. Perry. Marshall. Webster, and Morse) and the five
top left (Adams, Jackson. Clay. Calhoun, and Fulton)
made their contributions to American freedom and prog-
ress prior to the Civil War. Only Samuel Morse lived
to see the War.
The listing of names at the sides of the note seem to
have been planned in pairs.
Gx>per — WRITERS — Hawthorne
Irving — WRITERS — Bancroft
l.incoln — PRliSIDENTS — Grant

In three important ways Washington helped shape the
beginning of the United States: First, in 1775, he was
elected commander of the Continental Army that won
American Independence from Great Britain in the Revo-
lutionary War. Second, in 1787, Washington served as
president of the convention that wrote the United States
Constitution. Third, in 1789, he was the first man
elected President of the United States.
During Washington’s presidency Congress passed the
Bill of Rights (SepL 25, 1789), chartered the Bank of
the United States (1791), established the District of
Columbia (1791), and authorized the United States
Mint in Philadelphia (1792). On Feb. 1, 1790. the Su-
preme Court held its first session and on Sept. 18. 1793,
Washington laid the cornerstone of the U. S. Capitol in
Washington, D. C.
Thomas Jefferson once said of Washington: “Perhaps
the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never
acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was
maturely weighed: refraining when he saw a doubt, but
when once decided, going through with his purpose
whatever obstacles opposed.”

In Memoriam
Mrs. C. Elizabeth Osmun, ANA #3119 of Telford, Pa.,
(lied November 27. ]‘368. A widow. Mrs. Osmun was
the daughter of I). C. Wismer. the grand old collector-
dealer who did so much to publicize and popularize
obsolete currency.
A currency collector, Mrs. Osmun assisted her
father in compiling the lists of state bank notes which
appeared serially in The Numismatist from 1922 to 1936.
In recent years the updating of these lists has been a
project of the Society of Paper Money Collectors. For
her efforts in assisting the members doing this work Mrs.
Osmun was named “Research Consultant. Obsolete Cur-
rency” and awarded Honorary Life Membership #1 in
the SPMC.
Dates on National Bank Notes
Mr. William Philpolt. Jr. has kindly straightened out
both the Editor and Mr. Ronald Horstman on the dates
on St. Louis notes as mentioned in Paper Moxey No. 26,
page 52. The explanation of the seeming contradiction,
according to Mr. Philpott is: The date on a national
hank note is etched on the obverse plate. The charter
number, seal, serial numbers and geographic letter (M)
are overprint operations and have nothing to do with
the date.
SPMC Library
Early in 1969 the SPMC library will be transferred
from the home of the present librarian, Earl Hughes,
to the editorial oflice of Paper Mo.ney at 225 S. Fischer
Ave., Jefferson, Wis. 53549. As soon as the transfer
has been completed, a new library catalog will be com-
piled for publication in the 1969 second (|uarter issue
of Paper Money. At that time the regulations for use
of the library will also be reprinted. It is hoped that
the revitalization of library services will provide still
another benefit of membership in SPMC. AH review
copies of newly published books and catalogs should be
sent to Barbara R. Mueller at the above address, who.
after reviewing them for this magazine, will place them
permanently in the library.

doubtedly. Charlie had good reasons for marking them
so. On the other hand, his indicated rarities seem
generally to be on the conservative side with a few ex-
ceptions. As for his lack of numbering, Mr. ASleck as
an old pro is undoubtedly emphasizing that no listing of
obsolete notes can ever be considered as the last word
in completeness. An attic treasure can sometimes change
rarity 7 notes into rarity 1 overnight and yield a few
new varieties besides!
Mr. Affleck is the authority on Virginia obsolete notes.
In this volume he has given us the benefit of his knowl-
edge and his years of hard, though, enjoyable labor. No
collector who sees this book can resist its appeal and
no dealer can alford to be without it. Priced at S12.50.

Association. P. 0. Box 353. Hampton. Virginia 23369.
